chapter 4 the origins part 4

After me and this skyuki became partners.

We both traveled to become stronger, so with that mentality I spent a year and a half where many things changed, for me and for skyuki.

First, more companions joined us on the trip who were a male of the beast species, lightning wolf, who also had a mutation, then came sumiko a female of the beast species, elemental fox who had a mutation, then it was spaidy that it was a male of the beast species, poisonous aquatic spider, then it was kame a male of the beast species, stormy land turtle, lastly and I think the most important, in turn the strangest I found.

Everything seems strange to me was traveling together with my other companions, skyuki was normally outside leaning on my shoulder as always, because according to her she felt better being outside than inside my soul, and well the others were inside my soul.

So we went to a city that I really don't remember the name of, but the thing was, when we were looking for an accommodation to stay we heard a talk that said, in the magma valley some strange queens were found, they found themselves out of nowhere as if it were a spirit appeared out of nowhere.

That talk skyuki and I were very interested, before that I already thought it could be one of those rare opportunities that the world gave to growers before this thought I could feel the anticipation, but that alone was not going to make me impulsive, besides before these opportunities there were the same of risks to face.

Also, another thing I had to consider was the realm and stage my peers were in and my own in turn.

All of us except for one who was in the middle item gathering realm, all the others were in the middle spirit awakening realm onwards, but nothing else and so I was the same in the spirit awakening realm, in turn I was at the final stage, I only needed one stage to cross over to the next realm.

That is why before making this decision, I had to consult with my colleagues so we discussed it among all of us and we all agreed to go to the magma valley to see if we were lucky, because it was very obvious that there were people who thought the same So, although I knew the risks, I wasn't afraid to face them and we all agreed to do this.

That's how I headed to the magma valley and as I thought, I was not the only one who had the idea to come here to see if there was luck, there were hundreds of people who came to this place.

Although seeing that many people took away my will to try to find something, but I couldn't give up so easily, besides that I was already here, I asked myself why not try it, seeing my concern skyuki told me

-hey quiet partner remember now you are a grower-

Before that word reassured me, in those moments skyuki really knew how to cheer me up.

After that we went to the ruins to find out if there was still anything of value, that someone had left behind, but we didn't find anything skyuki and I, so I asked someone to know what achievement they found, but nothing was answered, I asked several people more, but I got the same answer.

So a week passed when we were all looking for something, but nobody found anything or at least those who found something didn't say anything, I don't blame them because in this world you had to do this kind of thing to grow and even more so if you don't have a supporter support, so people started there until a week later the valley was empty except for me who didn't want to throw in the towel yet.

So I insisted until I found a herd of fire breath lizards and I saw how they were about to kill one of the herd, so I interfered late a bit, but thanks to my companions even more by skyuki we managed to heal him.

After my companions translated for me what the fire-breathing lizard meant and an explanation of why his pack did that to him, I understood why what happened happened.

It was because, as some animals, like most animals, have their territories where they live and when an intruder enters, he confronts them to protect his home, after the fire-breathing lizard told me that he had something strange, we all understood what happened.

What happened was that, as the mutations to some extent change the structure of the beast itself, it makes the debas think that they are another kind of species, so they attack them to protect their territory, that's what happened.

Although I don't like that, I know that I can't do anything since, I also know that it is the nature of animals, although I can't say much about humans either, since we do the same thing since when I started reading a book on the history of world, I read that in a time before ours, humans were divided by the simple fact of having different skin colors and saying that whites were superior, in turn they said that people who were not white had to be slaves , it was like that for a while in history but that changed a war called the race war, something that surprised me.

And I would be more surprised by what I read in that book, I read many things, even many wars were born of stupid reasons, although I did not want to accept that, I also had to ask my uncle, his answer was that if it was like that, something that really made me lose faith in humanity and only caring about my precious people.

And although one type of thing stopped being done, after the racial war, although it still continues like this today, other things were even discovered to make more social divisions today, for example, the disabled, being born different from the Others, society put them aside, even their families do, and the worst is the same for those who cannot cultivate, so they can only lower their heads so as not to suffer.

Those who can cultivate can do whatever they want, that was life even my companions suffered the same each of them, for example, sen was brought to the brink of death by his own pack that happened 2 years before he met me something similar happened to skyuki and all my classmates, in turn it is the reason why there are mutated beasts in stores to buy them, all this happened because I was born different, because I am different from everyone else even I am not saved I suffered something similar from this discrimination, with my family for not being a cultivator, even I wouldn't have been surprised that if it wasn't because I was so attached to my little sister, most likely this god wouldn't have even gotten a good education.

That's why we all could understand to a certain extent as a tokage, it felt like that at the time, that's how I called the fire breath lizard to myself, after making a bond with him I could already understand what he was saying, but even none of us were prepared for what the little guy would tell us, which was his parents sacrificed themselves so that he would stay alive, something that none of us really liked to hear, and in this situation I couldn't help but compare in this situation Who is worse humans or the animals?.

It was a question that I always asked myself from the bottom of my heart, because I can't help but compare the actions of demonic beasts with humanity, I know its power that in school they told me that humans were superior to beasts, but in reality are we or just can't accept it even to this day is a question that I haven't gotten an answer to.

But anyway I think it's better to continue after that we went to bury the tokage's parents who, although the tokage wanted justice for their parents, the rest of us explained why they couldn't do it because it was a waste of energy more than if they wanted justice for their parents do not put yourself on the same level as your relatives so you can show your parents how proud they should be and so they see the serious mistake they made.

That could only be achieved if he were strong, if he came with me I would help him he agreed so he came with us, but I asked him if there was anything of value in the ruins he told me that there was something, but it was something that was in the old place where he lived with his parents, I apologized in case I had cooked something sensitive for him, he replied that there were no problems, but first we buried his parents before taking them, I just nodded as a sign that I agreed then we finished bury tokage parents.

It was then that we left a few minutes of silence and let the tokage speak for the last time with his parents so that later he would get up to guide us through the ruins after approximately 30 minutes of walking we found a wall that was where the tokage showed us that there was a room secret that no one had found, this again reinforced my previous point of view, I even thought for a moment that we cultivators never properly use the power that was given to us or that we are wasting that power.

But anyway we entered the room it was a room, very strange there were only some statues in the shape of dragons that appeared in fantasy stories, the only strange thing about these statues was that they had feathers on their wings, but at the same time they looked like scales it was something strange since it seemed that both were mixed as one, and the other thing that was in the room was a kind of throne that had around it a kind of gold necklace with a carved symbol of the dragon that I had seen before with the statues , also some jade tablets that had some inscriptions that he could not read.

We approached the throne little by little until we were there. I wondered if I should grab the necklace from the throne and the inscriptions or leave them there, but I decided to grab the necklace and turn the inscriptions. I told myself what could happen because when I grabbed it, everyone would is collapsing, so we all started running to the exit, we ran so fast that we would have run faster if it weren't for the traps, we could have gotten out faster.

But luckily nothing happened and we all managed to get out of the ruins safely, also the objects did not suffer any damage when we were leaving, something that really made me happy, because in the end this trip was not a waste of time, we not only had a new partner, we also found something that I felt was something very valuable or so my instinct said that it could not be sold.

But before I continued thinking about that I thought about two other things that were essential, the first thing was how much time passed and remembering we spent more than 5 hours running from death traps, but something was wrong that was that I had only spent 1 hour calculating for the position of the sun, I told myself in my mind.

(This didn't make sense)

I meditated for 1 minute on this, until the second important thing came to me, we had to leave before someone saw us so I sent my tired companions, to my soul world and then I ran through the magma valley and then lost in the forest , the good thing is that in all this time I haven't stopped training all this time.

It can hide my trail so that the tracking beasts can't find me, for a worse time it wouldn't be enough to get them off me, so I searched for something in the forest to prevent the beasts from finding me, that's how mud lake that See, I launched myself, the same with the lakes. In turn, I made sure that no one was following us until I could smell the beast I was looking for.

It was a skunk that breaks senses, it was a beast that was perfect for escaping from the other beasts, because as it is called it is a beast, its function is that this beast was not very strong, but if it had something it was that with a shot of its spray It leaves all five senses stunned, plus as a bonus that its smell was terrible, perfect for escaping from the beasts again.

It was unfortunate that these beasts do not have enough strength to evolve, if not it would be great to have that in my favor, but well after that I took my companions out for this I really did not like doing this my companions, but I knew that if I did not they could track us down, when I told them this they all understood, but the one who didn't want to do it was skyuki, I understood her and I also knew that after this I would have to buy many tomatoes.

One by one we had the skunk spray us, after that we returned to the city where we were staying, after that a week passed and it was good that I left the magma valley, discovering that many important people, that when they found out about the ruins were destroyed, they themselves went in person and if I was honest with myself it was that if there was a god, a deity or a higher existence, I thanked him for that.

Also in that week I began to investigate, about what the medallion and the jade tablets were, on the medallion I could not find anything, only an inscription that I could not decipher.

And on the tables of well, I don't think they believe me even if I told this to someone, the safest thing is that they consider me as a crazy person with a mental disorder.
